2002 mini cooper ignition problems

i'll be brief. this is basically what happens http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Ta5AyX6EMseverybody's telling me that it's a battery problem.the thing is after it does that, after 5-10 minutes of trying it starts again.so i'm thinking that if the battery were dead, shouldn't the care be dead also?

my i should mention that this problem occured after the temperature dropped and the first snow of the year hit.thank you
